How many players have scored a touchdown on their first NFL play?

[Godfather]

Antonio Brown did that and it can't be too common. Anyone know of another player who's done it?

[polamalubeast]

Matt Ryan had made a touchdown pass in the first attempt of his career, but it is different for Brown, but it is very rare!

I'm not sure but that was pretty freakin' awesome! Talk about one helluva way to begin your NFL career. I think it set the tone for the rest of the game.

And I was wondering if the kid had it in him.:hail: I guess the wondering is over.

[Galax Steeler]

That was a great play no one was expecting it.

I remember last season one of the Chicago running backs did it I believe. I can't remember his name, it was something weird, but Matt Forte wasn't doing much so they put him in and he went on a 65 yd TD run on his first carry.

Do you think the titans fans bitched at their kicker for not making that last chance tackle like Steelers fans did when Jeff Reed did the same thing last year?

[SteelerEmpire]

That play was like Tomlin setting of an A-Bomb in that stadium... Took the HEARTS right out of the Titans fans AND players... they never recovered...

That was hardly the same thing. Reed cowered when he had to make a tackle whereas Brown just flat-out smoked the Titans kicker and he didn't have a chance to make the tackle. I'm sure they still bitched though.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. There were fistfights on the field so intense that nobody bothered to recover the ball. That indicates a high level of heart to me.
I don't think they really started to give up until Kerry Collins got picked.

I know I sure wasn't prepared for it. :lol:

I don't know. The dude dove out of bounds like he thought he had a chance. :chuckle: He could have made a better pylon... and that's what people said of Reed.

It was a great play, but I thought for sure we were going to get flagged for a 3-man wedge before Brown peeled off on the reverse.

[BuddhaBus]

It was a welcome sight to behold! I'm eating a little crow here admitting that we may not miss Logan as much as I thought. Now, where's my fork and knife? :hungry:

As I said, That dive to the gatorade cooler was quite impressive. :chuckle: :noidea:

[Chidi29]

I want to say Kahli (sp?) Bell of the Bears did last year.

[steeldevil]

That running back for the 49ers did it tonight they said.

[Akagi]

Yep; they said he scored on his first touch. Not sure if it was his first play, though.
